Looking for something fun to do at the end of the month? The 61st Annual Meeting of the Catboat Association (CBA) will be held at the Mystic Marriott and Spa in Groton, CT. from January 27, 2023, thru January 29, 2023. 

The Featured Presentation will be "The Marvel-ous Marvel" featuring John Conway.

The Mystic Marriott & Spa guarantees a block of rooms at $125/Room/Night.  Reservations must be made before 4:00 pm on January 6, 2023.  To qualify for the group rate, you can call (866) 449-7390 and identify yourself as a participant in the Catboat Association's Annual Meeting  

The Meeting Brochure with all the details of the meeting and ticket request form is available on the CBA website. www.catboats.org.


Our cross planked, diamond bottom catboat build is in a holding pattern while we recover from our homeport move. The good news is that we are in a great spot now to research construction methods with boatbuilders at the Deltaville Maritime Museum, very similar we imagine to how the Pascagoula boats were made.


We do have a few parts made up, the transom, deadwood, keel and stem.



Other spots to check out around Mystic include the Mystic Seaport Museum, Mystic Knotwork and you can still get pizza in Mystic.

 Not sure if we'll make the CBA meeting this year, so if you go have some pizza for us.
